To me a line like this is starting to get into the realm of competing against the Bust Ups and other Gentle Giant product. Hasbro should stick to TOYS not try to compete against other license holders.

I mean look at the latest development on the 12" front - Sideshow is taking over the scale - they probably had to pay Hasbro for the rights to do it too - while I'm not thrilled at a 12" line "reboot" - I'm positive Sideshow will product a higher quality (at albeit a higher price) than Hasbro EVER did.

Why can't Hasbro focus their attention to the lines they were GOOD at? Stop developing new lines and focus on your core line of 3.75" action figures!!!!!

Hey - does anyone think that this will be the replacement for Unleashed? A 3.75" scaled high-end die-cast figure line. They could still be two-packs (at an even higher price point).

Whatever this line is, it is destined to fail.

You know, that's a good point. Maybe this is what killed the unleashed line - Hasbro was hesitent to have two $15 price point figure lines at the same time so they killed the Unleashed line in favor of offering these.

If that's the case, there will be a LOT of Unleashed fans who want to get a hold of the C3 focus group who told Hasbro the die-cast figures were a good idea!

People hate the statue 3.75 figures already, what's making them out of metal going to do for us? Give us something with substantial weight to throw at people?

What a GREAT idea!

Ok - I propose a JediDefender field trip for EVERYONE here to attend SDCC 2006 - we'll all get a Titanium Forged *snicker* Boba Fett and then when the Hasbro team starts their panel on stage, we'll all throw them at them!

Sounds like fun to me!

Might ACTUALLY get the point across if we hit that Derryl DePriest guy in the head enough times!

I'm surprised that no one's mentioned this yet, but don't forget that Attakus is gonna be pimpin' us 4" scaled diecast figures soon as well, with their awesome upcoming Death Star and Dagobah dioramas (and other scenes after those 2, I'm sure).

So yet another conflict between similar lines...

Just totally stupid for Hasbro to be doing this right now. I can't wait for them to combine their two favorite new things, and start giving us some kickass Titanium Holographic figures!!!
